Mark Stuart Erhardt

I have thought about Mark this past year. I recalled the time when in our 30's I was learning how to snow ski. Mark and Tom took me up to the intermediate slope and I panicked going down. Mark got in front of me skiing backwards and held my hands all the way down the mountain. He was an amazing man. And the best brother in law anyone could have asked for. I'll always remember him with a special place in my heart.

Mark was so beloved and I am surrounded by so much support and awesome memories - I am deeply thankful for what we shared and for the abundance of love from dear friends and family. - Marcia

Mark, Buddy Phelps and I have been close friends since we were in elementary school and neighbors. These pics are from a more recent get together, a gathering of elders. Mark and I rode from our inn up to Mt. Mitchell. Mark was always ready for the next adventure and his presence assured that it would be one to remember! He´s irreplaceable and already missed.
